Rated as GOOD by
Welcome to Sunshine Day Nurseries.
Here in our Nurseries, we pride ourselves on providing excellent childcare and giving the children in our care an exciting early years’ experience which focuses on keeping your child safe, happy and stimulated.
The children are cared for by highly qualified, friendly, and caring staff, who encourage the children to develop and grow in a nurturing environment.
We use an electronic system called PARENTA. This system enables us to easily record each child’s information and enables us to capture their development and milestones as they happen. It also enables us to share information with parents easily and has its own Parent Portal which allows parents to see how their child is developing and what they have been doing in the setting.
Both our nurseries are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. They are based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and at the Northern General Hospital.
We welcome ALL children into our settings with funding available for eligible 2-year-olds and ALL 3-year-olds.

TestimonialsWhat our parents have to say
"My son has been attending nursery for the last 3 years, moving through rooms and key workers. He has thrived in the care, and from his first day, he has been nurtured and encouraged to be himself. Staff have allowed him to develop his interests whilst encouraging him to try new things and challenge himself. We are happy with all the hard work, which has clearly gone into helping prepare him for school in what must have been a difficult year, but more importantly, we are happy to pick up a confident, happy boy with a smile on his face and stories to tell at the end of each day. Thank you for having so much fun with him!."
"Sunshine Day Nursery is a fantastic childcare setting. The staff are experienced, friendly and welcoming. My daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the nursery and has received high-quality care throughout the time that she has spent there. I would highly recommend this nursery."
"My little boy started when he was 11-month- old; he’s now 5 and attends the holiday club. He absolutely loved going to nursery. All the staff are amazing, friendly and went out of their way to ensure his needs and wishes were always met, as well as ensuring his development was continuing to progress alongside establishing amazing relationships with him. The activities are fun, appealing and inviting, yet challenging and stimulating! All the staff go above and beyond to ensure parents and children are happy, safe and listened to. The nursery supported my son’s dairy intolerance in the baby room and was amazing in supporting us as a family with regards to overcoming eating habits by providing a wide range of choices in meals to encourage his fear of food and advice we followed at home too. The food provided by the nursery is appetising with zero added salt in all meals and varied."
"Our son attended Sunshine nursery for the past 3-years. The staff have been very helpful and friendly every step of the way. They respected our beliefs and treated our child with kindness and consideration. Stringent measures were introduced to keep our child safe during the pandemic, and due to these measures, we were all safe, and our son never missed out. Our son feels confident and able to express himself freely. We are immensely grateful to the staff and management of Sunshine."
"Our daughter has attended nursery since she was 9 months old. Over this time, she has grown to love it and has a bond with all the staff and her classmates. The nursery team have given us regular updates on her progress and have been friendly and approachable. The parking is convenient for pick up and drop-offs, and we have been reassured by the policies they have put in place during the pandemic."
"Both my sons love Sunshine Day Nursery. They are always happy to go, and the staff are always friendly. They kept tirelessly working throughout the pandemic and don't close (except bank holidays and weekends), which makes it convenient to arrange care around holiday periods.."
